Somewhere in the murky depths of the continent's deepest lake, a monster lurks.
Jim Lynn is sure of it.
This week, the Roman Catholic priest was looking out from his home on the shores of Great Slave Lake near Yellowknife when he saw an object trailing a small boat across the water.
"I got the goggles because it was moving fast and I was kind of curious as to what it was," said Lynn, 66. "It was high, six to eight feet above the water and moving at an incredulous speed.
"It was like the head of a dragon -- just coming out of the water at just a ferocious speed, just moving like crazy."
Lynn watched as the creature, which looked green, hurtle behind an island, then disappear. He quickly called the Yellowknifer, a local newspaper, to place a advertisement asking the person on the lake that day to call him.
"I would think they would have felt the waves (from the creature)," he said.
A decade ago, Arctic Divers was on a deep-water body retrieval near Lutsel K'e when one of its divers saw a terrifying beast.
"It looked much like an alligator, but with a head like a pike," said Wayne Gzowski, the company's district manager.
"I really do believe that there's unknown marine life in a lot of these areas," he said, in places that have never before been explored by humans.
mmm...lake monsters .
